The attacker was naturally the 10,000 vanguard cavalry of Ma Shuo, who had already rested.

Because there are only 10,000 people, it is naturally impossible to go head-to-head with each other. Therefore, Ma Shuo still carried out the tactics of raiding and harassment.

Taking advantage of the speed of the cavalry, they launched a surprise attack on the opponent from the rear of the barbarian army, and after a successful blow, they immediately retreated.

After detouring some distance, attack the other barbarian army.

Ma Shuo's purpose was only to relieve the pressure of defending the city to a certain extent. Because with his strength, it is impossible to inflict a fatal blow on the barbarians.

Ma Shuo's tactics were undoubtedly very successful. But what he didn't know was that Zhang Xuan's 40,000 cavalry, who set off behind him, were in trouble.

On their way, there was an ambush by another barbarian army.

Another hundred thousand horses, a huge ambush circle, had already opened its pockets and waited for Zhang Xuan to enter.

100,000 versus 40,000, a huge difference in numbers, Zhang Xuan's 40,000 cavalry was tightly blocked by the barbarians. Zhang Jiang is also an outstanding figure of the younger generation of Great Qin, and in the face of such a desperate situation, he will naturally not sit still.

With his order, 40,000 cavalry rushed towards Chishui City with impunity. This time, Zhang Jiang rushed to the front and took the lead.

As the deputy marshal of the Western Army, Zhang Xuan's actions immediately mobilized the morale of the army, and even the deputy marshal rushed to the front, and what qualifications did the others have to retreat.

Suddenly, a group of cavalry rushed towards the barbarian army blocking the road with an indomitable momentum, and directly bit off a piece of meat from the barbarian army.

However, there are indeed too many barbarians, although the cavalry is very powerful, but they are really going forward one after another, the front is killed, and the back is still blocked there. For a time, the speed of the cavalry was seriously affected.

Naturally, the losses of the cavalry also began to increase noticeably.

In the end, with all the cavalry fighting hard, they finally opened a bloody road, Zhang Xuan rushed out of the encirclement with more than 10,000 cavalry, and went straight to Chishui City, and the remaining more than 20,000 cavalry fell into the ambush of the barbarians.

The cavalry under the command of Zhang Jiang lost more than 20,000 and nearly 30,000, and the barbarians actually lost a lot, 100,000 barbarians, and more than 50,000 were killed in the end, not counting the many wounded. In this way, it also shows that the combat effectiveness of the Qin cavalry is indeed not bad. However, with mental calculations or unintentional, coupled with the huge disparity in the number of people, this time Zhang Xuan still ended up in a fiasco.

The barbarians' encirclement and reinforcement this time obviously greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

When Ma Shuo saw the embarrassed Zhang Xuan, he was even more shocked. After careful inquiry, I was taken aback again, and suddenly a bad feeling came to my heart. Perhaps, this time the barbarians besieged Chishui City was really not an accidental act.

Obviously, Bai Qi's previous act of ambushing and killing the barbarians aroused the anger of the barbarians, and the barbarians also learned very quickly, and immediately treated them in the way of others, and dealt a blow to the Qin soldiers with their backhand. Although it was only a loss of more than 20,000 and less than 30,000, it was a loss of valuable cavalry.

In fact, Great Qin didn't have many cavalry in total, and the loss of twenty or thirty thousand at once was already a very serious loss. Knowing the loss of the cavalry, Ma Shuo was also secretly glad, it is estimated that the other party saw that his 10,000 people were only forwards, so he did not attack himself.

Otherwise, it is really difficult to say how many of his 10,000 cavalry can be left.

The change in the barbarian's strategy made Ma Shuo feel a little bad in his heart. However, he is not allowed to think about it yet. The siege of Chishui City must be resolved, but only the more than 10,000 cavalry brought by Zhang Xuan, plus Ma Shuo's 10,000 people, are still not enough to shake the 100,000 besieging army of the barbarians.

What's more, judging from what happened to Zhang Xuan's centaurs, the barbarians in the vicinity are probably far more than 100,000. Add the hundred thousand in ambush, there should be at least two hundred thousand. There will even be more, and God knows what these barbarians want to do this time.

Ma Shuo immediately gave an order to the hidden guards, to find out the intentions of the barbarians as soon as possible, and grasp the true situation of the surrounding barbarians.

"General Zhang, what do you think we should do next?" Now that Zhang Xuan has arrived, Ma Shuo naturally wants to ask the other party about his next actions. Anyway, the other party is the deputy marshal. It's just that Zhang Jiang also has a headache at this time, of course he knows that the siege of Chishui City is imminent, but at this moment, the people in his hands are indeed very insufficient.

"First of all, we must tell General Bai about the situation here immediately! Then, we can only try to reduce the defensive pressure in the city. Those of us who are definitely not allowed to enter the city. Once inside, it will really be self-defeating, and it will also increase the pressure on the food and grass in the city.

Cavalry is not equal to infantry, the consumption of materials is very large, people eat horses and chew. If you are outside, you can give full play to the mobility of the cavalry, and once you enter the city, the cavalry is actually useless.

Ma Shuo raised his hands in agreement, because he also felt that the cavalry should not enter the city. Staying outside, echoing with the people in the city, and fighting each other, can also play a certain deterrent effect on the barbarians, so that the barbarians can't let go of their hands and feet to attack the city.

"General Zhang, let your people rest for a while, and I'll take my subordinates to fight again! Kill the barbarians! Ma Shuo's men had also rested, and he decided to strike again.

"Hard!"

As soon as Zhang Xuan's words fell, the men and horses under Ma Shuo's command had already rushed out, and a gust of wind attacked the barbarians again.

"Damn, it's here again!"

Seeing Ma Shuo's cavalry dispatched again, the barbarian without cavalry could only curse helplessly. It's just that Ma Shuo doesn't care about their curses, he still commands his left and right cavalry battalions, harasses the other party with guerrilla warfare tactics, and inflicts some casualties on the other party from time to time, while he hits and leaves, never entangled.

Ma Shuo's almost hooligan style of play made the barbarians scream in anger. However, Zhang Xuan, who was watching the battle from afar, quickly saw the subtlety of Ma Shuo's approach, and immediately prepared to follow suit.

"Sons, do you see how our comrades clean up the barbarians? We can't watch from here, it's a man, get up for me, and use the arrows and weapons in our hands to avenge the dead comrades! Zhang Yun is also ready to make a move.

"Revenge, revenge!"

Zhang Xuan's speech was immediately echoed by all the cavalry.

Kill!

Immediately, more than 10,000 cavalry on Zhang Xuan's side also shot.

Another cavalry rushed over, and the barbarians, who had just been made panicked by the men and horses under Ma Shuo's command, panicked again.

Some of the barbarians even bumped into each other in a panic, causing a lot of chaos.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the barbarians, the cavalry under Zhang Xuan did not hesitate to harvest a group of heads. It's just that because the cavalry under Zhang Xuan's command is not equipped with saddles and stirrups, they need to attack while controlling their bodies and not falling off their horses. Therefore, the effect of the attack was naturally affected to a certain extent.

However, this still did not affect the fighting spirit of the cavalry!
